Program Notes on **Concerto RV 297, Op. 8, No. 4 L'Inverno (II : Largo)** by Vivaldi :

This famous Largo is the second of three movements in the Concerto RV 297, Op. 8, No. 4 (L'inverno) by Antonio Vivaldi.

This concerto is part of Vivaldi's famous Four Seasons [Le quattro stagioni], a series of four concertos part of Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione [The Contest of Harmony and Invention].

These 12 concerti were published in Amsterdam by Le Cène in 1725.

Each concerto in the Four Seasons is associated to a sonnet probably written by Vivaldi.

The verses corresponding to the Largo of the Winter concerto are as follows :

Passar al fuoco i di quieti e contenti, Mentre la pioggia fuor bagna ben cento

[Before the fire to pass peaceful, Contented days while the rain outside pours down.]

This Largo was originally composed for the violin in the key of E flat Major.

This score is a transcription for alto saxophone (in E flat) and piano.

It is set in the key of B flat Major.
